cris bruce

a bad way to start the week.

for the moment, an unsubstantiated rumor:

cris bruce died from heart failure sometime on saturday.

again: i do not know for certain this is true — it came to me from a phone call from ben who had gotten a text message from his sister. this could be a complete fabrication. i don't want to spread rumors, but i also believe this is legit, even for the shady friend-of-a-friend thing going on.

i'm not ready to talk about cris more than this, i'll leave it at this:
we went to high school together and, like everyone that i knew who knew him, my relationship seemed more complicated under the surface than the interactions we had over the years. i haven't heard from him in at least a year now, maybe longer.

i sincerely hope this rumor is untrue. he is young; im not sure he has hit 30 yet. if it is true, my heart goes out to his family.

if you have any news, one way or another about this, please let me know.
